< Previous | Next >

Episode 4059 was broadcast on 18 March 2006, as part of Series 54.

Ian Graham played Ian Alexander, with Ian Alexander winning 82 – 77. The Dictionary Corner guest was Philip Franks, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

In Round 14, for reasons unknown, Graham's total displayed on his scoreboard erroneously increased by 9 points instead of 10; although this did not affect the outcome of the match, the mistake was not corrected and so the final score was displayed as 76 – 82.
